This video has me trying to figure out how they would have trained it unless it is just something pigeons would do?

Lots of people call them that- they are highest on the list of spreading diseases to humans I was told and they get into and filth everything up just like rats.... after having some take over our shed and destroy everything I owned and half of my mums stuff too I do unfortunately agree with those who call them flying rats.I am not use uk pigeons would they are into everything my mum always called them flying rats when I was little
I hadn't seen it but a youtube search had at least 5 different clips of different pigeons doing thatThe ones that took over our garage years ago literally pecked and tugged at nearly everything that was new or in their reach, they also copied each other so if one started investigating a new thing the others would soon follow.
Have you seen the footage of the pigeons that seem to deliberately eat the center of the slices of bread given to them then place the whole bread crusts over their heads and wear them like pretty necklaces?
The belief that pigeons carry more diseases is a common but factually inaccurate one.Lots of people call them that- they are highest on the list of spreading diseases to humans I was told and they get into and filth everything up just like rats.... after having some take over our shed and destroy everything I owned and half of my mums stuff too I do unfortunately agree with those who call them flying rats.
so, as someone with a companion pigeon - is the behavior in the first post something you would see as natural or as trained?I believe a few forum members are proud guardians of pet pigeons—I count myself amongst those lucky few.
I am no expert but I think that behavior is “natural” (in quotes because it’s an adaption of a natural behavior in an urban environment). My pigeon does a hop down from a perch and a strut in a circle every time I sing “her” song (just me saying her name and dadada off tune). My local pigeon expert resource (from Palomacy) says it is a courtship dance. She only does it for me and only for that song lol! She also lands on my head every morning I let her out to fly around the living room. Mercifully she has never pooped while there. She strikes me as quite smart and loving.so, as someone with a companion pigeon - is the behavior in the first post something you would see as natural or as trained?
I have heard they are easily trained and was just curious!
